What other drivers do to make you insane...

All the ignorant drivers that tic us off, aren't going away any time soon, so we might as well suck it up and try to keep a level head. Sometimes I think I have seen it all in the 22 years I've been a professional driver. But then something new occurs and I wonder WHAT THE .... I have watched highway patrol cars pass me with the trooper typing away on his laptop. BTW we can see everything you are doing in your car . I mean everything! We can see every empty candy wrapper on your floor board, every stain on your seat, even what radio station you are listening to. If you pass a tractor trailer trust me, they are checking you out.

Ok, so just got home. Was on way to my second job and driving through my neighborhood. Snow on ground.

I am driving slowly along and some guy, not looking, coming up to the intersection I am crossing over just keeps going...looking straight ahead....not looking over at me at all...I am blowing my horn and slamming on my brakes and start sliding...and it was like slo mo....

So, he hits me. Lovely.

What is interesting is that when someone hits me I never actually get angry. And what is even more interesting is that this guy, just like the last person who crossed in front of me didn't even apologize. They're just like hey, yeah, guess we should call the cops, huh?

Ugh.

Unfortunately, there is no stop sign for this intersection, but the whole neighborhood operates as if the road I am on is the "right of way" road (and looking at the roads anyone would guess that). But, since there are no stop signs, no one is at fault per cop.

The guy also had a passenger in his car that the cop ended up handcuffing and putting in the back of his car. I have no idea what the deal was with that, but I do know that I had to wait there start to finish for two hours while the cop was doing whatever he was doing in his car. Insane.

ETA: Yes, I am fine, as was the other driver and passenger.
